That's the crux of it though isn't it? These are complaints about a specific approach, not generally of computers, and not even of the best demonstrated models.
I'm also not entirely sure this is the correct way to think about it. If the function to evaluate the accept-a-draw decision is separate from the next-move decision. Then if the accept-a-draw is refused, doing the poor pawn sacrifice is, without question, the best available move. My interpretation is that the accept-a-draw is made in a vacuum here.
